Family night missing your top scorer again...playing the subs for family night...getting up 21 in third and then just losing focus...it happens. We were on a very good roll for a while and now have lost a bit of focus but still beaten motivated teams with talent giving us their best shots. The one player that may not be right is LC she just has been in a funk since coming back...she certainly allowed Brewer from Tech to out play her today. not only has her shooting been below par but her defensive efforts have been spotty and she just did not block out well today.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that. LC is not the LC of 2019 - I fear the combination of her Knee injury and then the foot thing combined with her Diabetes has really taken a physical toll on her more then anyone anticipated. She looks lethargic, her reactions are slow - she is just out of sync. I saw rebound she normally snags go to a TT player because she did not block out and when have teams had success driving to the rim like TT did today when she is patrolling the paint. Beginning to wonder if she should have sat the year out with a redshirt.
She is not the only one I thought Bickel was going to fall out vs WV, Cooper is off her game, all of the ladies were breathing heavily vs TCU and TT - I would not be surprised if the whole team had to fight some sort of bug these last two games.
